Speccation of Letters Patent.

Application filed November 28, 1910. Serial No.. 594,477.

To all' whom it may concern.'

Be it` known that I, Josnrn H. BRADY, a.

said mouth-piece with a steady stream of water which overflows and cleans'es said mouth-piece, keeping it in a sanitary c ondit-ion, and a source of supply for said reservoir.-

In order Vthat the invention may be fully understood, reference will now bevmade to the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure 1 shows an elevation of my improved fountain. Fig. 2 is a vertical horizontal section through the supply pipe and one of the mou'tlrpieces, outline II--II of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a'broken plan View of the supply-pipe, provided with a mouth-piece.

Fig. 4 1s a transverse section on line IV--IV y of Flg. 2. F1g. "5 1s a transverse section on line V-V of Fig.. 1. ,o

The drawing shows my improved fountain arranged more particularly for useu in school buildings. 'Y i 'l Referring in detail to said drawing: 1-

designates a supply-pipe provided. in the present instance,- with 4a plurality of mouthpieces 2, soldered or otherwise-fixed directly to the upper portion thereof. Said mouth-pieces l are convex and form between them and the supply-pipe 1, reservoirs 1, fed through outlets 1b in said pipe, and discharging through openings 2EL in the mouth-pieces.

3 designates a feed pipe communicating with one end of supply-pipe 1, and provided with a valve 4.

5 designatesl a valve interposed between two of the mouth-pieces, nearone end A,of supply-pipe 1. 6 designates. a branch-pipe vleading from feed-pipe 3 to the opposite end of pipe 1, and provided with a valve` 7 `to control the flow of `water therethrough. B y supplying pipe 1 from both ends through plpes 3 and 6, a substantially uniform disobtained.

8 designates a spout arranged beneath supply-pipe 1, which is supported upon a pldrality of straps 9, extending transversely .whereby supply-pipe 1, is firmly secured in position'. Spout 8 is preferably supported brackets 11, and has an upward extension tection of said wall.

13 designates a drain-pipe leading from spout- 8 and having a trap 14 toprevent escape of sewer gas into the spout when the ,drain-pipe 13 is connected to a sewer.

plied with water by opening valves' andv 7, .As the water discharges through the out-lets 'of the mouth-pieces', it spreadsover the surface of the same and thereby keeps said mouth-pieces free from all foreign matter. The overiiow-from the mouth-pieces, is collected by spout 8 and conducted thereby to drain-pipe 13., through which it V escapes.

voir with water, valves 5 and 7 are closed'.

The mouth pieces, being convex, 'as shown and described, exterior recesses for the lodgment of germs is'avoided, and a resersupply the same with 'a steady stream ot water, even thoughthe pressure in supplyp1pe"1`luctuates more or less.

Patent is:
